OFFICER
      INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

    


    This
      Agreement, dated as of    ,
      is
      entered into between OPKO Health, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws
      of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), and «name» (the
      "Officer").

     

    Recitals

    


    A. Highly
      competent persons are becoming more reluctant to serve publicly-held
      corporations as directors or as executive officers unless they are provided
      with
      adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against
      inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service
      to, and activities on behalf of, the corporation.

    


    B. The
      current impracticability of obtaining adequate insurance and the uncertainties
      relating to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and
      retaining such persons.

    


    C. The
      Bylaws of the Company presently provide, among other things, that the Company
      shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by
      law.

    


    D. The
      Board
      has determined that the difficulty in attracting and retaining highly competent
      persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company's stockholders
      and
      that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased
      certainty of protection against risks of such claims and actions against them
      in
      the future.

    


    E. It
      is
      reasonable, prudent, and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate
      itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
      law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue
      concern that they will not be so indemnified.

    


    F. The
      Officer is willing to serve or continue to serve as an officer of the Company
      on
      the condition that the Officer be so indemnified.

        –2–

    2. Services
      to the Company.
      The
      Officer will serve, and/or continue to serve, as an officer of the Company,
      so
      long as he or she is duly elected and qualified in accordance with the
      provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, or
      in
      any other Indemnified Position, at the will of the Company (or under separate
      contract, if any); provided that the Officer may at any time and for any reason
      resign from such Indemnified Position (subject to any contractual obligations
      which the Officer shall have assumed apart from this Agreement) but the
      obligations provided for herein shall continue after such
      termination.

    


    3. Indemnity.
      The
      Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Officer and hold the Officer harmless
      to
      the full extent permitted or authorized by applicable law. Without limiting
      the
      generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees to indemnify the Officer and
      hold the Officer harmless from and against, and pay any and all, Expenses and
      Indemnification Amounts, including Witness Liabilities.

    


    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, except with respect to the indemnification specified in the
      second and third sentences of Section 7 or in Section 10 or Section 13(b) of
      this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Officer in connection with
      a
      Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Officer only if authorization
      for
      the Proceeding (or part thereof) was not denied by the Board of Directors of
      the
      Company prior to the earlier of (i) 60 days after receipt of notice thereof
      from
      the Director and (ii) a Change of Control.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        –3–

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    4. Payment
      of Expenses.
      The
      Company shall advance all Expenses within thirty (30) days after the receipt
      by
      the Company of a statement or statements from the Officer requesting such
      advance payment or payments from time to time. Such statement or statements
      shall identify the nature and amount of the Expenses to be advanced with
      reasonable specificity. The Officer shall also agree to undertake to repay
      any
      Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined (which shall only be
      made
      after the Final Disposition of the Proceeding related to an Indemnified Event,
      as hereinafter provided) that the Officer was not entitled to reimbursement
      of
      Expenses in connection with the Indemnified Event for which such Expenses were
      made.

    


    5. Interval
      Protection.
      During
      the interval between the Company's receipt of the Officer's request for
      indemnification or advances and the latest to occur of (a) payment in full
      to
      the Officer of the indemnification or advances to which he or she is entitled
      hereunder, or (b) a final adjudication that the Officer is not entitled to
      indemnification hereunder, the Company shall provide "Interval Protection"
      which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean the taking of the necessary
      steps (whether or not such steps require expenditures to be made by the Company
      at that time) to stay, pending a final determination of the Officer's
      entitlement to indemnification (and, if the Officer is so entitled, the payment
      thereof), the execution, enforcement or collection of any Indemnified Amount
      or
      Expenses or any other amounts for which the Officer may be liable (and as to
      which the Officer has requested indemnification hereunder) in order to avoid
      the
      Officer's being or becoming in default with respect to any such amounts.


    


    6. Indemnification
      by Court.
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement including without
      limitation the fourth sentence of Section 7, indemnification and advances shall
      also be made to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction, or the court
      in
      which a Proceeding was brought, shall determine that the Officer, in view of
      all
      the circumstances of the case, is fairly and reasonably entitled to
      indemnification and/or advances for such Expenses as such court shall deem
      proper.

    


    7. Indemnification
      Procedure.
      Any
      Indemnification or advance under this Agreement (other than Interval Protection)
      shall be made promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days upon the written
      request of the Officer delivered to the Company. The right to Indemnification
      or
      advances as granted under this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Officer
      in
      any court of competent jurisdiction if the Company denies such request, in
      whole
      or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within thirty (30) days. The
      Officer's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully
      establishing his or her right to indemnification or advances, in whole or in
      part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Company. It shall
      be a
      defense to any such action that there has been a judgment or other final
      adjudication adverse to the Officer which established that the Officer failed
      to
      meet the standard of conduct, if any, required for indemnification by applicable
      law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither
      the
      failure of the Company (including the Board or any committee thereof, its
      independent counsel and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior
      to
      the commencement of such action that indemnification of the Officer is proper
      in
      the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
      described in the preceding sentence, if any, nor the fact that there has been
      an
      actual determination by the Company (including the Board or any committee
      thereof, its independent counsel and its stockholders) that the Officer has
      not
      met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
      create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard
      of
      conduct.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        –4–

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    8. Presumptions
      and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

    


    (a) The
      Officer shall be presumed entitled to Indemnification hereunder unless clearly
      not entitled to such Indemnification by clear and convincing proof that such
      payment shall be unlawful.

    


    (b) If
      the
      Company shall not have responded to the Officer's request for Indemnification
      pursuant to Section 7 hereof within thirty (30) days after receipt by the
      Company of such request therefor, the Officer shall be deemed to be entitled
      to
      such Indemnification.

    


    (c) The
      termination of any Proceeding relating to an Indemnified Event or of any claim,
      issue, or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or
      upon
      a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself adversely
      affect the right of the Officer to Indemnification or create a presumption
      that
      the Officer did not meet any applicable standard of conduct.

    


    (d) Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, the Officer shall in no event be required
      to repay any Expense payments advanced to the Officer and no defense can or
      shall be raised by the Company to a request for Indemnification pursuant to
      Section 7 to the extent the Officer has been successful on the merits or
      otherwise in defense of any Proceeding related to an Indemnified Event, or
      in
      defense of any claim, issue or matter involved in any Indemnified Event therein,
      whether as a result of the initial adjudication or on appeal or the abandonment
      thereof by a party.

    


    9. Non-Exclusivity:
      Duration of Agreement; Insurance; Subrogation.

    


    (a) The
      rights of Indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided
      by
      this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the
      Officer may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of
      Incorporation, the By-laws, any other agreement, or any vote or consent of
      directors or stockholders or otherwise.

    


    (b) This
      Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (i) ten (10)
      years after the date that the Officer shall have ceased to serve in any
      Indemnified Position; or (ii) the Final Disposition of all Indemnified
      Events.

    


    (c) This
      Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns
      and
      shall inure to the benefit of the Officer and his or her heirs, devisees,
      executors, and administrators or other legal representatives.

    


    (d) To
      the
      extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing
      liability insurance for directors or executive officers of the Company or for
      any person serving in any other Indemnified Position, the Officer shall be
      covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to
      the
      maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director or executive
      officer or person serving in such position under such policy or
      policies.


    
      
        
        

      

      
        –5–

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    10. Proceedings.

    


    (a) The
      parties hereto agree that except as otherwise provided for herein, any disputes
      arising with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of any provision
      hereof shall be submitted, at the sole election of the Officer, either to
      arbitration or to judicial determination. Any arbitration shall be conducted
      in
      the City of Miami, Florida in accordance with the then existing rules of the
      American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). In any arbitration pursuant to this
      Agreement, the award or decision shall be rendered by a majority of the members
      of an arbitration panel consisting of three members chosen in accordance with
      the then existing rules of the AAA. The award or decision of the arbitration
      panel pursuant to this Section 10 shall be binding and conclusive on the
      parties, provided that enforcement of such award or decision may be obtained
      in
      any court having jurisdiction over the party against whom such enforcement
      is
      sought. The Company hereby agrees to bear all fees, costs and expenses imposed
      by the AAA, in connection with the arbitration, irrespective of the
      determination thereof. The provisions of Section 10(c) shall govern with respect
      to the proceedings referred to therein.

    


    (b) In
      the
      event that, for any reason, the Company fails to pay any Indemnification or
      advance demanded, or the Company requests repayment of any Expenses advanced,
      the Officer shall nevertheless be entitled, at his or her sole option, to a
      final judicial determination or may seek arbitration of his or her entitlement
      to Indemnification hereunder in respect of such claim. In the event the Officer
      seeks a judicial determination, the Officer shall commence an action in a court
      of the State of Florida. In the event the Officer seeks an award in arbitration,
      (i) such arbitration shall be conducted in Miami, Florida pursuant to Section
      10(a), and (ii) the arbitrator shall notify the parties of his or her decision
      within sixty (60) days following the initiation of such arbitration (or such
      other period proscribed by the rules of AAA). The Company further agrees that
      its execution of this Agreement shall constitute a stipulation by which it
      shall
      be bound in any court or arbitration in which such proceeding shall have been
      commenced, continued or appealed that (i) it shall not oppose the Officer's
      right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration or any other claim
      by reason of any prior determination made by the Company with respect to the
      Officer's right to Indemnification under this Agreement on such claim or any
      other claim, or, except in good faith, raise any objections not specifically
      relating to the merits of the Officer's claim; and (ii) for purposes of this
      Agreement any such adjudication or arbitration shall be conducted de novo and
      without prejudice by reason of any prior determination that the Officer is
      not
      entitled to Indemnification.

    


    (c) Whether
      or not the court or arbitrators shall determine that the Officer is entitled
      to
      payment of Indemnification Amounts or has to return the payment of Expenses
      or
      otherwise finds against the Officer, the Company shall within thirty (30) days
      after written request therefor (and submission of reasonable evidence of the
      nature and amount thereof), and unless there is a specific judicial finding
      that
      the Officer's suit or arbitration was frivolous, pay all Expenses incurred
      by
      the Officer in connection with such adjudication or arbitration (including,
      but
      not limited to, any appellate proceedings).


    
      
        
        

      

      
        –6–

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    


    11. Severability.
      If any
      provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal,
      or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality, and
      enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without
      limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or clause of this Agreement
      containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable,
      that is not itself invalid, illegal, or unenforceable) shall not in any way
      be
      affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the
      provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of
      any
      Section, paragraph or clause of this Agreement containing any such provision
      held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid,
      illegal, or unenforceable) shall be deemed revised, and shall be construed,
      so
      as to give effect to the intent manifested by this Agreement (including the
      provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable).

    


    12. Merger
      or Consolidation of the Company.
      In the
      event that the Company shall be a constituent corporation in a consolidation
      or
      merger, whether or not the Company is the resulting or surviving corporation,
      the Officer shall stand in the same position under this Agreement with respect
      to the Company if its separate existence had continued.

    


    13. Enforcement.

    


    (a) The
      Company unconditionally and irrevocably stipulates and agrees that its execution
      of this Agreement shall also constitute a stipulation by which it shall be
      bound
      in any court or arbitration in which a proceeding by the Officer for enforcement
      of his or her rights shall have been commenced, continued or appealed, that
      the
      obligations of the Company set forth herein are unique and special, and that
      failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement will
      cause irreparable and irremediable injury to the Officer, for which a remedy
      at
      law will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy
      he
      or she may have at law or in equity with respect to a violation of this
      Agreement, the Officer shall be entitled to injunctive or mandatory relief
      directing specific performance by the Company of its obligations under this
      Agreement.

    


    (b) In
      the
      event that the Officer is subject to or intervenes in any legal action in which
      the validity or enforceability of this Agreement is at issue or institutes
      any
      legal action, for specific performance or otherwise, to enforce his or her
      rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Officer
      shall, within thirty (30) days after written request to the Company therefor
      (and submission of reasonable evidence of the amount thereof), and unless there
      is a specific judicial finding that the Officer's suit was frivolous, be
      indemnified by the Company against all Expenses incurred by him or her in
      connection therewith.

    14. Notification
      and Defense of Claim.
      The
      Officer agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served
      with
      any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other
      document relating to any Proceeding involving an Indemnification Event;
      provided, however, that the failure of the Officer to give such notice to the
      Company shall not adversely affect the Officer's rights under this Agreement
      except to the extent the Company shall have been materially prejudiced by such
      failure. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of the Company's
      right to seek participation, at its own expense, in any Proceeding which may
      give rise to Indemnification hereunder.

      and Waiver.

      supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless

      provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
      any
      other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute
      a continuing waiver.
